No, Obama isn’t progressive enough. And yes, people need to keep him accountable. And yes, people need to work for progressive change in ways other than elections.
But from primary season through today, I have been on his side – not as a Kool-Aid drinker (been there done that), but as a realist. People who think elections don’t matter need a reality check. And may get one this week, if children’s healthcare is passed and Guantánamo is ordered closed.
So, I’m not embarrassed to be happy today. Tomorrow, we’ll see.

Zoolander is a vastly underrated film, and that is a terrific picture.
